So our first Mother's Day has come and gone, and it occurred to me that it is a strange holiday. It is not like Christmas, which I share with the large majority of people in my life, and it is not like my birthday, which I have virtually to myself (I have an uncle with the same birthday). Instead it is something that I share with a large portion of people in my life, including my own mother, my sister, my aunts, my nana, my wonderful friends (a few of which like me were celebrating their first), all of the mothers on Ben's side of the family, etc...but not everyone in my life. It is also strange because unlike my first birthday or first Christmas, I will remember my first Mother's Day and am totally aware of how special it is. I got a lot of love on Mother's Day and am very grateful for it. Being a mom is seriously tough work and I wish it weren't true, but it was nice to be singled out for the day. Anyway, in honor of Mother's Day, here are a few pictures of my sweet girl and me, some taken on Mother's Day.
